Arjun Rampal is letting his feet down and relaxing at his spacious penthouse in the 21st floor in the suburbs when I meet him for this interview post success of Raajneeti which has garnered for him a lot of accolades for his sterling performance, as an astute politician. As his maid servant serves us hot steaming cup of coffee, Arjun tells me that right now that entire he is doing is to absorb the reactions of people who have seen his film.

“Who says that good films do not work at the box office? Rajneeti has definitely proved that a film which has a running time of 2.45 minutes and a story which is rooted to the earth and without songs can work universally. The brilliant performance of the entire cast is being spoken about. I feel that it is a huge step for the whole film industry”, quips Arjun.

On Raajneeti success – Raajneeti is not only a big film but also one of the most expensive films. My character also had lots to do. It was very essential for the film to run, and when a film like this does well not only in India but overseas as well, when the audience appreciate such kind of characters and films then it makes you feel that yes writers should write such films, something which is good , which is going to make the industry grow and take a step forward. I feel satisfied, happy and feel a kind of connection with the audience- that for me is the biggest high. The film lived up to all the expectations.

Arjun Rampal is one actor who progressed slowly and steadily on the silver screen Probably destiny has brought him onto the lime light in the bollywood. Just in recent past from his successful film ”Rock on” and OSHO there has been no looking back for Arjun. Call it luck, destiny or hard work but yes! Arjun has all the reasons to be rejoicing for having made up onto the silver screen. Although the critics had written him off stating,” Being from the modeling field Arjun need not even try to turn into an actor. He is too stiff to be an actor.”
